Abstract
Ovarian cancer is also known as the “silent killer” because this type of cancer spreads widely without the occurrence of any symptoms (1). Currently, ovarian cancer accounts for approximately 5% cancer deaths among women in the United States (2). Worldwide statistics from 185 countries indicated 295,414 new cancer cases and 184,799 deaths from this disease in 2018 (3). High-grade serous carcinoma is the most common histological type accounting for the majority of advanced ovarian cancers.
